Q. Why hasn’t anyone else made a system like yours?
To make Violet3D possible, various technologies had to come together – high end digital signal
processing, high quality wireless and high quality class-d amplifiers.
There has also been research and advances have been made in human perception of sound and
creation of surround sound, such as ambisonics and wavefield synthesis which are a drastic
departure from older methods of creating surround sound.
Our team of 35 people have worked on this product for well over three years to make this a reality.
Q. Does your wireless have interference from radio frequencies of cell/cordless phones,
microwave ovens and Wi-Fi routers?
Our wireless technology is designed to happily co-exist with other wireless systems. Our system is
intelligent and uses our patented space sensing microphone technology. Our microphone not only
measures room characteristics to give you a theater in your living room, but also the speaker’s
characteristics in the room and where they have been placed. Additionally, our speakers have a two
way wireless communication path with Neo and hence we are able to switch our wireless frequency
bands and also dynamically adapt power from our Neo to our Speakers/Subwoofer to avoid any
interference. By eliminating wires, we eliminate any pickup from other radio emitting devices that
normally cause your audio systems to spur ‘pat pat’ sound when your phone rings. We have tested the
system with 5 wireless routers, 2 cordless phones, and tens of cell phones and microwave oven.
Q. Will Vioilet3d harm my health?
The emission of our product is same as any other Wi-Fi router in your home. We use wireless chips
that are FCC compliant.
Q. What is the range of wireless? Can I put additional speakers in the bathroom?
Our wireless range is 45 meters when Neo and speakers are in line of sight. As with any typical Wi-Fi
router the wireless range drops when you have walls between Neo and the Speaker. The construction
of your walls determines the drop in the range. Wooden and hollow walls are much more forgiving
than the steel and concrete houses in some parts of the world. We suggest you ask your dealer to test
the system in your home and verify before using the system as a multi-zone product. However please
note that if Speakers come in contact with water there could be permanent damage.
Q. How many speakers I can play with single Neo? How can I use it in commercial application?
Neo can connect up to 21 speakers. For commercial application, we suggest you put one speaker
every 6 to 8 feet.
Q. Why do you call your system wireless when it still has power wires?
We transmit audio signals wirelessly from your device to the speakers. However, speakers, like many
other wireless devices, consume power and hence have to be plugged in to a power source - just like
your light bulb. In Violet, you can put in speakers wherever you have power outlets, just the way you
do it for creating light in your room.
